However, Avery did not want to explain herself.
“Chad, go and tell your boss that Avery is already together with Eric!” Mike wanted Elliot to give up and stop harping on Avery.
When Avery heard what nonsense Mike was spewing, she immediately snatched his Bluetooth earpiece from him.
“Chad, don’t listen to him,” Avery said, “Eric and I are collaborators. Also, your boss was the one who returned the sweater to me, so I will wear it whenever I want to. In the future, if I ever get together with someone, I might wear this to the date25 too.”
Chad was speechless.
Mike, that idiot! How dare he lie and say that he was not together with96 Avery.
Other than awkward, there was nothing else to describe his current situation.
“Miss Tate. It’s your clothes. You can wear them whenever you want to. I’m just complaining to Mike. I don’t mean anything by it. I have already realized that Mr. Foster is no saint. He has his flaws too. I will constantly remind myself in the future,” Chadad said.
“Hmm. Did he go to work today? Shouldn’t he be at home resting?” Avery asked calmly.
Chad replied, “He never listens to the doctor, but Ben has sent him49 home.”
“Hmm.”
Up to that point, they did not know what else to talk35 about.
Chad suddenly said, “I hope you have a great sales record, becoming the number one in the industry.”
Avery was speechless.
Mike took the Bluetooth earpiece back to end the awkward conversation.
“Avery, you’re pretty nifty with your fingers! When are you going to make me a sweater?” Mike teased.
Avery glared at him.
Mike chuckled and changed the topic. “Elliot is terrifying! How is he still not giving up on you yet! It looks like you did not stab him deep enough!”
Avery corrected him. “I did not stab him.”
“Oh. I suspect that he is probably mentally unstable.”
Avery said, “I used to read a book on success. In it, it mentioned that successful people usually have different thinking than an ordinary person.”
Mike said, “But you’re normal!”
Avery said, “I’m not considered a successful person.”
“You’re not successful? You got the business tycoon, Elliot, to fall in love with you, then you got the dazzling celebrity, Eric, to fall head over heels for you. Truth be told, I think Eric might have fallen for you. During the event just now, he kept looking at you. The gaze… is not right,” Mike exaggerated.
Avery said, “Are you asking for a beating?”
Mike shut up.
In the evening, many topics were trending on Tweeter.
[Eric Santos Announces Relationship]
Tapping into this trending topic. A marketing account posted a new Tweet. It said that Eric and Avery were not only collaborators. They were lovers!
More importantly, the crucial evidence was the necklace that Avery was wearing that morning. It belonged to Eric!
The account posted a screenshot of an old fan commenting.
[I have been Eric’s fan for 8 years! Even when he retired because of his injuries during the past 3 years, I have never forgotten him! I have been waiting for him to come back! He brought such a huge surprise to his comeback today! New fans might not be able to recognize the necklace on Avery Tate, but the old fans would know! This necklace is Eric’s personal belonging! Back then, out of 10 events, he would wear the necklace 8 times! Now he has given the necklace to Avery. If this is not love, what is it?!)
Below it was countless photos of Eric in events back then. In every photo, Eric was wearing a black necklace.
Was this considered confirmation!?
After the hot topic appeared, the internet was in mourning! Avery was hated on the internet too.
At Elliot’s mansion. A news notification popped up on Elliot’s phone.
[Eric Santos’ Relationship Exposed! His Lover: The Gorgeous President of Tate Industries, Avery Tate!)

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 432
Elliot has just finished showering. Water beads dripped down from his hair.
He had a dry towel in one hand and his phone in the other.
When he s When His Eyes Opened Chapter 432 When His Eyes Opened Chapter 432aw the news, he tapped it with trembling fingers. After he read through, his eyes were darkened and cold!
Since when did Avery accept Eric’s token of affection? Did she come to look for him yesterday to tell him that she has started a new relationship? Was there the need to do25 so?
He threw his phone at the cabinet. It slammed loudly!
In the luxurious European-manner mansion, Wanda had a glass of wine in her hand, slowly96 swirling.
She looked at the news on the internet smugly before taking a sip of red wine.
“Do you know what celebrities are most afraid of?” Wanda said in Zoe’s direction, “They’re most afraid of losing fans. What would make a celebrity lose fans? The announcement of a new relationship. No matter how famous Eric is, he can’t escapezd this!”
Zoe was in admiration of Wanda.
“This would definitely hurt Eric. No matter how he tries to explain it, he would surely lose fans.” Wanda laughed delightedly. “The times have long changed. We are no longer short of handsome and talented 49 celebrities.”
Zoe said, “Don’t be too smug too early. The most famous male celebrities right now are not as great as Eric.”
“You hold him in such high regard. Don’t tell me you’re his fan too?” Wanda looked at Zoe in35 disbelief.
“Will it be strange that I’m his fan? Our main intention is not to smear Eric. Our target is Avery, so you should know not to cross the line,” Zoe said, grabbed her bag, and left.
At that moment, Wanda was staying with Richard, so Zoe often came to have a meal together.
After Zoe left, Richard said to Wanda, “Don’t bother her. Do it accordingly to your way. You’re a businesswoman, profit is what you need to consider.”
Wanda responded distractedly, “Your daughter pissed me off, shouldn’t you repay me in some way? Massage my feet.”
Richard immediately came over to massage her feet. Wanda lay on the sofa with a comfortable expression. She sighed. “Why did I have to marry Jack back then? You don’t know that when I was his wife, I had to obey him all the while, relying on him for my living expenses. What a loser! How I wish he was alive. I want him to see how great I am right now!”
Richard said pleasingly, “If he was still alive, you would never have come out on your own. We would never be together either.”
Wanda said, “That’s true. Although he is dead, his daughter is still alive. Whatever he owes me, I’ll make his daughter pay back with interest!”
At the Starry River Villa, when Avery saw the news, she was stunned because before Eric was cured, she was a fake fan of his. She did not know that the necklace was something Eric used to wear often.
If she knew it, she would not have accepted the gift. When Eric requested for her to wear the necklace the day before, she did not think much about it.
She picked up her phone and dialed Eric.
When Eric picked up the call, his tone was as calm and gentle as usual. “Avery, do you want me to clarify or…”
“Yes.” Avery did not wait for him to finish talking before saying firmly, “I’m sorry, Eric. I didn’t know how much the necklace meant to you. I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”
“I’ll clarify, but please do not return the gift to me. I’ll be sad,” Eric pleaded.
Avery gave in. “Okay, I’ll keep it, but you have to clarify our relationship.”
Eric was silent for a few seconds before agreeing to it. After the call, Avery picked up a glass and drank some water.

“How manipulative! See, I said he was interested in you!” Mike was sitting next to her. He heard their conversation clearly. “But if you’re interested in him too, you’ll be an item with him by tonight!”
“He is too young. Young people are easily impulsive,” Avery explained, “I was once young too.
Mike said, “I know! When you were young, you were impulsive for Elliot. Now you’re having retribution.”
Avery was25 speechless.
“Avery, stop looking at Tweeter.” Mike touched her head. “The people on the internet are so rude! They say such harsh words! Don’t take their words to heart.”
“I’m not looking at Tweeter,” Avery said calmly, “Even if I did, it would not affect me. I can still take96 it.”
“That’s great!” Mike looked at the time. “Chad asked me out for supper. I’ll head out first! Call me if there is anything.”
“Go! Don’tad drink!”
“I know. I promise you I won’t drink!” Mike promised before grabbing the car keys and heading out.
At nine at night, Avery switched off the children’s room’s light. When Avery’s footsteps gradually grew softer, Layla tugged on Hayden’s49 arm.
“Hayden, Mommy rejected Uncle Eric. I’m a little sad. Why doesn’t Mommy like Uncle Eric? I like him a lot. He is so handsome. How good would it be if he was my father?” Layla found it hard to calm down, so she started chattering.
She did not dare to say all those in front of Avery because she knew that she could not change her mother’s35 decision.
Hayden was quite calm toward this matter. Although Eric was very good-looking and he also helped his Mommy, he felt that no one in this world was worthy of her.
“Then, good luck.”
Layla was confused. “Hayden, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”
“Good luck in growing up. Once you grow up, you marry him,” Hayden explained.
Layla was stunned. “Hayden, are you serious?”
“It looks like you don’t really like him.”
“I really do! But once I grow up, won’t he be old?” Layla was conflicted.
Hayden said, “If you really like him, you won’t mind how old he is.”
Layla took a deep breath. “Okay then..then wish me luck.”
Avery returned to her room and turned on her phone.
Eric posted a Tweet five minutes ago. His clarification was simple.
[If I am lucky enough to find someone I love and who loves me in the future, I would surely share the good news. As for Miss Tate, she is my goddess. I will always admire and respect her. I implore all my fans to stop attacking her. Thank you.)
After his Tweet, it was immediately trending!
Before bed, Elliot looked at his phone again. Another news popped up.
(Eric Santos Claims That Avery Tate Is His Goddess!)
Elliot gritted his teeth and looked at Eric’s Tweet.
Goddess?
What a shameless person! He should just proclaim that he loves her!
However, it seemed like Avery was not seduced. If not, Eric’s Tweet would not have been that way. He would have written, (Yes, I am together with Avery Tate!]
Elliot furrowed his brows. A sense of indescribable crisis loomed over his head.
He could not help but send a message to Avery. This was the first time they contacted each other after his injury.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 434
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 434
Avery did not see Elliot’s message immediately because she went to bed after she saw Eric’s Tweet.
Early pregnancy was usually associated with nausea and drowsiness. She could sleep easier for the past two days.
Usually, when she occasionally could not sleep, she had to rely on melatonin to get a good night’s sleep.
However, that night, she fell asleep after lying in bed. She slept all the way until five in the morning the next25 day.
If it were not for her wanting to pee, she should still be able to sleep.
Once she woke up, the first thing she did was to take her phone and look at the time. Turns out, she saw Elliot’s message. She was stunned. She quickly took her phone to the96 washroom.
Elliot’s message read, [Were you looking for me yesterday?)
Yesterday? Avery thought back carefully. She did not look for him the day2d before!
Hold up!
She looked at the time he sent the message. It was ten-thirty the night before! Avery felt chills running down her back. She was completely 49 awake.
Coming out of the washroom, she took her phone back to bed. After lying down in bed, she looked at his news. She was hesitating about how to reply to him. Should she tell him that she was pregnant? He needed to recuperate at that moment. She better not use that to agitate him.
However, it was not easy to come up with a lie. Elliot was extremely alert. He was not that easy to lie35 to.
After thinking and struggling for a while, Avery replied, (I passed by your place the day before, so I thought to stop by.]
After sending the message, she completely lost her urge to sleep. Avery held her phone and looked at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.
Her heart was about to pop up. He only sent a single message. Why was she so nervous?
Why when she was facing other men, she could remain calm and composed, yet when she faced him, her thoughts were often easily messed up?
Her notification was on silent mode. Also, she reckoned that Elliot must be asleep at that moment. He would surely not reply to her message. Thus, she held onto her phone and opened her eyes wide in a daze.
When her eyes were rather dry, she picked up her phone to look at the time, yet…she saw his reply!
His reply was sent after her message! It was replied instantly! It was five in the morning, yet he replied to her message instantly. Avery had to suspect that he did not sleep the entire night! That was because Elliot did not have the habit of playing with his phone.
Avery sat up and looked at his reply.
Elliot replied, (Stop by? What is there to stop by? Don’t tell me that you wanted to see me!)
The exclamation mark frightened Avery a little. It made her feel that Elliot was furious when he typed the message. Avery smacked her forehead.
How should she reply to him?
She had a good night’s sleep. She should be feeling spirited, yet when she saw his message, she was rather bewildered.
Avery’s fingers moved. [Have you stayed up all night?]
She wanted to change the topic, so she sent that message. However, that message infuriated Elliot!
After sending the message to her the night before, Elliot has been waiting for her message for the entire night! Halfway through, he tried to turn off his phone and force himself to sleep but to no avail!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 435
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 435
Elliot thought about how he was the President of the Sterling Group, yet his heart was broken by her. He took the initiative to send her a message, yet she did not reply to it immediately!
He was in an utterly bad mood! He looked at her message with reddened eyes. He quickly typed on his phone, (Aren’t you delighted?)
Avery was speechless. What a heated message.
However, Avery considered that he did not sleep for the entire night. It was only normal that he was throwing a25 fit.
Avery calmed herself down and patiently replied. [It’s almost 6. Go to bed! I’m going to sleep for a while longer too.).
After this message, Avery lay down once96 again.
Elliot did not reply to her anymore. He lost this round! In relationships, whoever took the initiative, they were the loser!
At seven-thirty in the morning, the gates of Elliot’s mansion slowly opened. Mrs. Scarlet was carrying her bag. She was about toad leave.
Shea looked at her back and quickly chased after her. When Mrs. Scarlet heard footsteps coming from behind her, she immediately turned around and looked. When she saw that it was Shea, she stopped in her tracks.
“Shea, I have something to do in the morning. I have to make a trip. Could you be a good girl and wait for your teacher at home,49 please?”
Shea shook her head. Mrs. Scarlet has been with her every day. She was used to Mrs. Scarlet’s accompaniment.
“Where are you going, take me with35 you.”
Mrs. Scarlet furrowed her brows. “I’m going to the bus station. It’s quite far and there are a lot of people. You won’t want to go there.”
Shea did not like crowded places. She was afraid of strangers. However, that day, she wanted to
try.
Mrs. Scarlet could not persuade her otherwise, so she could only take Shea along. If Shea was afraid, she would get the bodyguard to take Shea home.
At eight-thirty in the morning, Mrs. Scarlet brought Shea to the bus station. There was a huge crowd at the station.
Mrs. Scarlet was holding Shea’s hand tightly. She also constantly paid attention to Shea’s emotions.
Although Shea has been furrowing her brows, she did not show any signs of fear or resistance.
A moment later, the person Mrs. Scarlet was looking for walked over from one of the stops.
“Shea, why are you here?” The person that spoke was Mrs. White, the servant that used to work for Rosalie.
That day, Mrs. Scarlet came over to send her off.
Shea looked at Mrs. White curiously.
“Shea, you’re so brave now. You dare to come to a place with so many people,” Mrs. White lamented, “I hope you get better soon.”
“She has recovered quite a lot,” Mrs. Scarlet said, “You’re going back home. I’m guessing you won’t be here anymore, right!”
Mrs. White nodded. “They gave me a huge sum of money. I don’t have to worry about the future.”
Although they received a sum of money, there was an obvious melancholy between Mrs. White’s brows.
“Shea, why didn’t you attend your mother’s funeral? Did your brother forbid you to attend?” Mrs. White’s eyes were rather reddened. “You should have attended it. She’s your mother!”
When Shea heard what Mrs. White said, she was rather shocked. “What mother?”
“Your brother’s mother is your mother!”
Shea blinked. She seemed to understand what Mrs. White was saying. “Big Brother did not ask me to call her mother. I’m not close to her.”
“Hmm. You are indeed not close to her, but she is your mother. Shea, if she were to know how much you have recovered now, she would be very happy.”
“But she’s dead, she won’t be able to see me anymore.” Shea’s words made Mrs. White’s eyes
wet.
“Shea, your mother was killed by someone. I don’t ask for you to avenge your mother. I only hope you get well soon. Because once you get well, you will naturally seek revenge on her behalf. Also, don’t go to the old mansion in the future. Don’t go there because your mother’s killer is right there,” Mrs. White said very softly. She was afraid that she would be overheard.
Shea’s head hurt from receiving so much information at once.
“I don’t dare to tell your brother this. I’m afraid that I might be silenced. Shea, just remember what I tell you. You must remember. When…when I’m dead, or when you’ve recovered, you avenge your mother…”
Shea was stunned. She could not help but grab Mrs. White’s arm. Something struck her in her
heart!
It hurts!
“Also…” Mrs. White could see that Shea understood what she was saying, so she went in closer to Shea’s ears, “Hayden Tate is your brother’s son. His biological son. Your mother was killed because she knew about this.”

The Tate Industries.
After Avery had handled all the work at hand, she could not help but look at her phone.
She clicked on her chat history with Elliot and looked through it a few times.
Why did he think of messaging her the night25 before?
She went to look for him the day before yesterday. He should have known about it on that night itself.
Why did he not contact her that96 night?
She then clicked on scandal about her and Eric. She could not help but think if Elliot had seen the news about her and Eric the night before, so he took the initiative to message her?
What kind of attitude did he have toward her at the2d moment?
If he hated her to death, even if he had seen the news regarding her, he probably would not have contacted her.
He contacted her last night, and he did not mention the past, has he already gotten over49 it?
It was impossible!
He was hurt so severely, so how could he get over it s035 easily?
She furrowed her brows, and her mind was slightly in a mess.
If he had not messaged her last night, she actually would not have thought of him so frequently
Her phone on the table rang. She picked up her phone and answered it.
“Avery! I am downstairs at your company! Come on down quickly! We’ll have lunch together! “Tammy’s bubbly voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call.
Avery agreed without thinking too much into it.
Five minutes later, she saw Tammy downstairs.
There were two sweet girls standing next to Tammy. They were cute and pretty, and they were stylishly dressed. Just like Tammy’s style.
“Avery, let me introduce them to you. This is my good friend, Lisa. This is my cousin, Ellie. Both of them are also my bridesmaids at my wedding.”
“Hello, Avery! We have met before! I am Tammy’s college mate!” Lisa said enthusiastically.
Ellie said, “Hello, Avery. We have not met before, but I have often heard about you from my
cousin, so I am very, very familiar with you!”
Avery smiled as they went together to a restaurant nearby.
“Are you three out shopping today?”
“We had only shopped for a while. They asked me to invite you, so we came over to your company.” Tammy wrapped an arm around Avery’s shoulder and said, “Avery, both of them are Eric’s die-hard fans! I took a photo with Eric a few days ago, and both of them are jealous to death. Hahaha!”
Avery instantly understood what they meant.
“If there’s a chance next time, I will bring you guys to meet him.”
Since they are all good friends, of course, she would be willing to help.
“Avery, you’re really the best! I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward! As to be expected of Eric’s goddess! Hahaha!” Lisa said with excitement.
Ellie proposed, “Avery, could you invite Eric to attend my cousin’s wedding? We can pay and hire him to sing a few songs!”
Tammy said, “Avery, would that put you in a difficult position? If it’s too difficult for you, then just forget it. It’s fine to just bring us to his events when there’s a chance in the future. He had just made his comeback, so his schedule is probably particularly packed. I saw that his new song has already topped the charts on all music platforms. How awesome!”
Avery nodded. “I’ll ask later. What if he is free, right?”
They had meat stew for lunch.
It has already been two days since Avery touched any meat.
She no longer felt disgusted anymore, so she was craving it a little.
“Avery, you usually don’t have spicy food, don’t you?” Tammy saw that she had put quite a bit of pepper in her bowl so she was slightly surprised.
Avery had a piece of meat with the pepper and her appetite instantly increased. “It’s fine to have a little once in a while.”
“Why do I feel that you’re getting thinner and thinner? Are you not eating properly?” Tammy asked with puzzlement as she stared at Avery’s thin face.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 437
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 437
Avery said sheepishly, “Is that so? It’s just your illusion.”
After she had happily eaten her fill, she took out her phone and sent a message to Eric, asking him if he was free on the first of May.
She did not expect him to reply so quickly.
After he had explained the matter to him, he quickly25 agreed.
“Tammy, Eric said he will be coming to attend your wedding on the first of May.”
As soon as she finished saying that loud cheers of excitement instantly96 sounded!
Tammy, Lisa, and Ellie were all crazily excited.
In just a blink of an eye, Tammy told Jun thead news.
Jun then told Ben the news.
“My wife said Avery was the one who invited him,” Jun said resentfully, “I suddenly don’t want to get married anymore. My wife is Eric’s fan…a crazy fan! Her good friends as well… I should say that almost all those women are Eric’s fans. When the time comes, who would be looking at me? All of them would be looking at Eric! As the groom, all my thunder would be stolen. This is completely different from what I imagine the wedding would49 be!”
Jun felt upset, but he did not dare to tell Tammy.
Ben sympathized with him very much but felt a little delighted about his misfortune as well.” Don’t worry. You won’t be the only person feeling upset. Eric likes Avery. Elliot would probably be upset as 35 well.”
Avery had only worn a white sweater yesterday, which coincidentally became so-called matching outfits with what Eric had worn, and Elliot was furious.
If Avery truly were to date Eric, perhaps Elliot would be up all night losing sleep.
“Does Elliot have a masochistic tendency? If any woman dared to hurt me, it would already be very kind on my part to not hurt her twofold. It would absolutely be impossible for me to continue liking her.” Jun was puzzled.
Ben said very objectively, “It’s not exactly a masochistic tendency. After all, Avery was once heartbroken as well. He is just more stubborn, no matter if it’s the career or the person that he likes.”
Once he had made up his mind, he would never change his mind anymore.
Others would turn back when they hit a dead-end, but he would not even turn back if he had hit a dead-end.
“Oh, then should we tell him about this?” asked Jun.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ben said, “I’ll find a chance to tell him.
At three in the afternoon, Avery got back to her company.
Before she pushed open her office door, Mike called out to her.
“Avery, come over here!”
Avery strode over to Mike as soon as she heard that. “What’s the matter?”
Mike took her by the arm and brought her to the reception room.
A man and a woman were sitting inside the reception room.
“They are the staff from Fashion Forward, the magazine, and they would like to interview you, “Mike whispered in Avery’s ear, “I have checked them out. Fashion Forward is quite famous. See if you want to accept being interviewed by them.”
After Avery gave it a quick thought, she nodded.
“Hello,” Avery greeted the staff.
The staff said politely, “Hello, Miss Tate. We can first conduct a simple interview. After that, you may come to our studio to have some photos taken when you are free. If you are free now, we can start the interview immediately. It will take up around half an hour of your time.”
Avery looked at the time and gladly agreed.
“Miss Tate, would you have an even more in-depth collaboration with Eric after this? For example, invite him to be the ambassador. Have you ever considered that?” The reporter mentioned Eric right off the bat.
Avery was not the least bit surprised at all.
If the scandal between her and Eric had not gone viral last night and caused a ruckus, this kind of fashion magazine would not have come to interview her at all.
“There are no plans for that at the moment,” she replied.
“Eric said that you are a goddess to him, then is he your dream hunk?” the reporter asked while smiling
That question made Avery hesitate for a moment. “He could be considered so! I admire him very much.”
“We found out online that you once had a relationship with the president of the Sterling Group, Elliot Foster. May I know if this is true?” The reporter’s questions got more and more
tricky.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 438
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 438
Of course, Avery would not answer that question.
She could not show too much resistance as well, so she implicitly said, “You shouldn’t mention any questions related to him. I’m afraid that when the time comes, your magazine won’t be able to be distributed smoothly.
Her answer made the gossipy staff of the magazine aware of their foolishness.
“Alright, Miss Tate. You have studied medicine. Why did you think of starting your own business after you graduated? What is the motivation that made you choose to go into25 business?”
Avery furrowed her brows slightly at that question.
If she were to answer it seriously, it would take more than a day and a night for her to finish her96 story
She planned to deal with them as simply as possible.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, an insuppressible nauseated feeling emerged withined her.
She covered her mouth with one hand and rushed out toward the washroom outside.
“Miss Tate! What’s wrong?” Both the staff also rushed49 over.
The incident happened too quickly and no one could react in time.
After Avery ran to the washroom, she threw up into the toilet 35 bowl!
She threw up everything that she had eaten during lunch.
Because it was too uncomfortable, tears welled up in her eyes.
After her stomach was emptied from throwing up, the sense of discomfort instantly vanished without a trace.
She flushed the toilet and leaned against the wall to stabilize herself.
Mike rushed over with strides into the washroom as soon as he heard.
“Avery, what’s the matter?” Mike grabbed her arms and pulled her around to make her face him. “Why is your face so pale? Did you throw up?”
Avery pulled his big hands away and walked over to the sink. She turned on the tap and got some water to wash her face. “I had meat stew together with Tammy for lunch, and we ordered a bit too much. I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I overate.”
“You could’ve packed the food if you couldn’t finish it! Why did you stuff yourself until you
threw up?” Mike furrowed his brows and said, “I will send you back to rest.”
Avery said, “The interview is not over yet! I will go back on my own after the interview has ended.”
“You’ve already thrown up. Other matters can first be put aside.”
“I don’t feel uncomfortable now.” After she had washed her face, she felt a lot more relaxed. Therefore, when she walked out of the washroom, she said, “Mike, leave me be. Carry on with your work!”
After saying that, she said to the two staff apologetically, “I’m sorry! Let’s continue!”
Because she was not feeling well, the two staff just followed up with a few simple questions, and then they ended the interview.
After she had sent the people from the magazine away, Avery returned to her office to grab her bag and prepared to go home.
She was not feeling that uncomfortable at that moment, but after she had thrown up, she felt as if her body had been emptied and she became slightly weak.
She wanted to go home and lay down.
Ever since she learned that she was pregnant, she never drove herself anymore.
That was because her morning sickness was more severe during her first pregnancy, and she was afraid her symptoms would be even worse for this pregnancy.
It would be more dangerous to drive under such circumstances.
She hailed a taxi at the roadside after she walked out of the company.
After she got home, she nestled on the sofa in the living room, took out her phone, and sent a text to Tammy.
After she had thought it through, she decided to tell Tammy about her pregnancy.
After Tammy received the message from Avery, she immediately found a hidden place and called her.
“Avery Tate! You’re pregnant? Whose baby are you carrying? F*ck! That’s too shocking! I am going to get a cardiac arrest!” Tammy shouted on the phone. She was extraordinarily excited. She was even more excited than meeting Eric.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 439
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 439
Avery pulled her phone further away from her ear as her eardrums hurt a little.
“Avery Tate! Don’t play dead! Hurry up and tell me! Whose child are you carrying? Ah! I am going crazy! Where are you now! I want to go find you! I want you to explain everything to me face-to-face!” Avery could not help but laugh at Tammy’s reaction.
“I am at home now. Don’t come looking for me. I’m going to rest after I finish up this call with you,” Avery said lazily, “Whose child can I still be carrying… I’m telling you about this because my morning sickness is starting to get worse now. Even eating has become a problem, let alone drinking… If someone were to persuade me to drink at your wedding, I’ll have to trouble you to help me block it.”
They had previously agreed to have fun together at Tammy’s bachelorette party the night before her25 wedding.
Once a group of them gathered, it would certainly be inevitable that there would be drinking. Telling Tammy beforehand could avoid a lot ofgc trouble.
“You’re pregnant so you certainly can’t drink! I won’t let you drink by then,” said Tammy, and then she guessed, “You can’t be pregnant with Elliot’s baby, right? My God, what are you two trying to do?”
When Avery heard his name, sleepiness instantly overwhelmed23 her.
Things between her and Elliot were temporarily irresolvable, so her mind would automatically avoid all information related to him.
That way she would not be in so much2a pain.
“Help me keep this a secret because the child may not even live past three months.” Avery got up from the couch and walked upstairs.
“Alright, I certainly will help you keep it a secret,” said Tammy. Suddenly, she got angry.” Other than spreading his seeds, what else can that jerk, Elliot, do? Is he still a35 man?”
Avery’s temples throbbed a little. “Don’t curse him anymore. This kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.”
She would just take it that this child that she was carrying was compensation to Elliot.
It did not matter if she was able to deliver this child smoothly, she and he no longer owed each other anything anymore in the future.
“You’re really easy to bully!” Tammy stood up for Avery. “If he dares to touch you again next time, you just directly take out a pair of scissors!”
After Avery realized what Tammy had implied, both her cheeks instantly became completely
reddened.
“Tammy, don’t be angry. If the child is healthy, I will deliver the child. It’s not hard for me to raise an additional child.”
“Hmm. Go and rest! I won’t bother you anymore.”
In the evening at Elliot’s mansion.
Ben’s car slowly parked in the yard.
Elliot was in gray loungewear. He stood at the door and surveyed Ben.
“I am here to mooch dinner from you.” Ben put the gifts that he brought in the living room. After that, he told Elliot about what happened at the company that day. Following that, he said, “Just continue resting at home after this! After resting at home for a day today, you clearly looked better.”
Elliot ignored it.
“Where is Shea? I’ll go call her to dinner.” Ben looked around but she did not see Shea.
“She is not feeling well today.” Elliot headed toward the dining room with big strides. “Aren’t you taking a little too much effort just to come to my house to mooch dinner from me?”
“I am mainly here to see you. How were you yesterday? I had a nightmare last night.” Ben kept nagging while following by his side. “How is Shea not well? Is the injury on her head making her unwell? When is her third treatment?”
“You’re extra talkative today,” Elliot said with disgust. A sharp ray flashed past his eyes. “Is something up with you?”
“Nothing is up with me.” Ben got sheepish.
Elliot noticed his reaction and he did not continue hounding him anymore.
Both just coldly refused to give in like that. In the end, it was Ben who lost the battle.
“Are you really not going to Jun’s wedding?” Ben sat on the dining chair and raised his eyebrows. “Eric is going. Avery was the one who invited him.”
Surely, the calmness on Elliot’s face had disappeared.
“The day before the wedding, they have booked a holiday villa by the beach as they have decided to party all night!” Ben continued, “I don’t know if Eric will be going, but Avery certainly will be going.”
Elliot’s gaze was cold. All his emotions were suppressed at the bottom of his heart. Three words coldly came out of his thin lips. “I’m not going!”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 440
Ben was quite surprised by Elliot’s answer.
“You’ve thought it through?” Ben teased, “You should have long come to your senses. Do you know what she said to Chad? She said that since you returned her the sweater, she will wear it whenever she likes. She’s right, but she also said that she might wear it on a date in the future
Elliot’s knuckles gripping onto his utensils turned white.
“Do you think 125 care?”
Ben said, “I’m trying to make you forget about her?”
“Then, why bring her up?” He swept Ben a cold gaze. “Don’t mention anything to do with her anymore. I’m notoc interested.”
“That’s great! I was still worried you wouldn’t be over her.” Ben sighed in relief. “Too bad you can’t drink. I’ll drink alone.”
Ben walked over to the small bar and picked up a bottle of wine. Soon, Elliot finished his meal. He put down his utensils and left the dining23 hall.
Ben was holding onto a glass of wine. He was unhappy, “Hey! Come talk to me! It’s no fun eating alone!”
Elliot walked to Shea’s room. He did not sleep the entire night before. He slept all the way till noon thatza day.
After getting up, he heard Mrs. Cooper say that Shea was in a bad mood, so she did not go to class nor eat anything.
Elliot went to her room to check on her. She was sleeping back then, so he could not ask her why she was feeling35 down.
At that moment, it was dinner time. The skies were getting dark too. It was not appropriate to continue sleeping. If she were to continue sleeping, she would lose sleep at night.
Elliot pushed Shea’s door open.
Shea’s eyes were opened. Her black eyes were looking at one spot in a daze. Elliot did not know what Shea was thinking.
“Shea.” He sat down by the side of the bed, looking at her in a daze. He said gently, “It’s time to get up for dinner.”
Shea grabbed Elliot’s huge palms and asked, “Big Brother, your mother is my mother, right?”
Elliot’s eyes moved a little. “I heard you went out with Mrs. Scarlet this morning. You went to
the bus station. Were you afraid?”
“Big Brother, your mother is my mother, right?” Shea asked once again as if she did not hear him.
“Hmm.” Elliot could obviously sense that his sister was quite different than usual. She rarely asked him any questions, let alone sensitive questions like this.
At that moment, not only did she ask them, but she insisted on an answer too.
“Why did you not bring me to your mother’s funeral?” Once Shea got confirmation from her brother, she started to believe what Mrs. White said to her.
“Because there were many guests at the funeral that day. You didn’t like crowded areas in the past. I’m afraid you might get scared.” Elliot looked into her eyes. “You’re not afraid of crowded areas anymore, right?”
Shea nodded courageously.
Elliot was rather surprised by her change of attitude.
“Then, I’ll bring you to crowded places to play the next time?”
“But you have not got better yet.” Shea got up from the bed. “Big Brother, I’m hungry.”
Elliot helped her down from the bed and brought her to the dining hall.
When Ben saw Shea, he immediately kept the bottle of wine.
“Shea, I heard you’re not feeling well today. Where are you not feeling well? Did you call the doctor?” Ben asked in concern.
Shea shook her head. She picked up her utensils and ate with a lowered head. Elliot walked over to the living area and made a phone call.
